Recognize levels of organization in plants and animals, including cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, and organisms. Compare the functions of a cell to the functions of organisms such as waste removal. Recognize that according to cell theory all organisms are composed of cells and cells carry on similar functions, such as extracting energy from food to sustain life. 1. What are the differences of plant and animal cells? 2. How is structure related to function at all biological levels of organization? 3. What defines cell shape and size? 4. How does the cell membrane help a cell maintain homeostasis? 5. How do you explain the relationship between the structures and functions of cell organelles? 6. Why must cells absorb energy and nutrients? 7. How do cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems relate to the complexity of living organisms?
5 Unit 5: Human Organ Systems 7.12B Circulatory system Respirator system y Skeletal system Muscular system Digestive system Excretory system Reproductive system Integumentary system Nervous system Endocrine system Identify the main functions of the systems of the human organism, including the circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory, reproductive, integumentary, nervous, and endocrine systems. 1. How do the structures of the digestive system work together to process the food you eat? 2. How do the structures and functions of living things allow them to meet their needs? 3. How does energy change from one form to another as it moves through a system?
6 3 rd Nine Weeks Unit 6: Reproduction, Heredity, & Natural Selection 7.11C, 7.14ABC Sexual reproduction Asexual reproduction Traits Natural selection Selective breeding Heredity Genetics Gene Generation Descendant Ancestor Dominant Recessive Punnett Square Homozygous Heterozygous Purebred Genotype Phenotype Variation Mutation Genes Chromosomes Nucleus Traits Asexual vs. sexual reproduction Uniform vs. diverse Identify some changes in genetic traits that can have occurred over several generations through natural selection and selective breeding such as the Galapagos medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis) or domestic animals. Define heredity as the passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next generation. Recognize that inherited traits of individuals are governed in the genetic material found in the genes within chromosomes in the nucleus. 1. What makes organisms unique? 2. What are the advantages and disadvantages to each type of reproduction?
7 Unit 7: Adaptations and Change of Organisms 7.11B, 7.12A, 7.13AB Internal structure Organism Adaptation Structure Function Gill filaments enable oxygen to diffuse into the blood. Hollow bones are lighter, allowing flight. Xylem in plants System of tubes that both support the plant and transport cells that circulate water and dissolved minerals Phloem in plants Cells laid out end-to-end throughout the plant, transporting sugars and other molecules created by the plant Describe and relate responses in organisms that may result from internal stimuli such as wilting in plants and fever or vomiting in animals that allow them to maintain balance. 1. How are a plant s structures specially suited to their functions? 2. How do plants respond to stimuli? 3. How do behaviors enhance an animal s chance for survival?
8 Unit 8: Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition; Watersheds 7.8BC Weathering Erosion Deposition Environment Ecoregion Sediment Mechanical weathering Chemical weathering Ground water Surface water Watershed Biodiversity Contribute Sustainability Ecosystem Analyze the effects of weathering, erosion, and deposition on the environment in ecoregions of Texas. Model the effects of human activity on ground water and surface water in a watershed. Describe how biodiversity contributes to the sustainability of an ecosystem. Observe, record, and describe the role of ecological succession such as in a microhabitat of a garden with weeds Investigate how organisms respond to external stimuli found in the environment, such as phototropism and fight or flight 1. How do human activities affect the surface water and groundwater in a watershed? 2. How do objects and structures affect erosion?
9 Unit 9: Ecosystems and Change 4 th Nine Weeks 7.10ABC Habitat Microhabitat Biome Organism Abiotic Biotic Variation Population Species External feature Behavior Physiology Migration Hibernation Bulb Ecological Succession Pioneer species Primary succession Secondary succession Microhabitat Lichens Observe and describe different environments, including microhabitats in schoolyards and biomes How they support different varieties of organisms through providing basic needs Variety of life depends on environmental (biotic and abiotic) factors. What external structures or behaviors increase the survivability of certain organisms External features and physiology of plants and animals Behaviors in plants and animals. 1. How will similar populations react to changes in their environment?
10 Unit 10: Force and Motion 7.7B Force Seedlings Turgor pressure Tropism Geotropism Phototropism Forces affect motion in plants as shown by their ability to overcome or respond to the force of gravity or turgor pressure. Forces affect motion, as is demonstrated when seedlings push upward through soil, exerting an upward force on the soil greater than the downward force of gravity. Plants grow upward against the downward force of gravity in a process known as geotropism. Even when turned, plants will recognize the force of gravity and reorient their stems upward and their roots downward. Water within a plant cell exerts a force, called turgor pressure, that pushes outward on its cell wall. The ability of a plant to maintain a strong upright position and to return to the upright position when blown by the wind is the result of the force exerted by water within each plant cell. The flow of blood within the body is caused by the force of the heart pumping and moving blood within the veins and arteries as well as the contraction of the skeletal muscles. Gravity also plays a role in moving blood throughout the body. 1. How do forces influence motion? 2. How does the mass of an object influence motion?
11 Unit 11: Catastrophic Events 7.8A Key Concepts Catastrophic Ecosystem Flood Hurricane Tornado Catastrophic events can shape and restructure the environment through the force and motion evident in them. Events include: weather events, geological events, and the impacts of events on ecosystems. 1. Is there any time a catastrophic event could have a beneficial effect of the environment? 2. How would the ability to predict a catastrophic event ahead of time be beneficial to people? Unit 12: Conditions for Life & Manned Space Exploration Vocabular y Key Concepts 7.9AB Characteristic Solar system Proximity Composition Atmosphere Exploration Accommodation Solar System Manned space exploration Terrestrial Students will analyze the characteristics of objects in our solar system that allow life to exist such as: proximity to the Sun, presence of water, and the composition of the atmosphere. Identify the accommodations, considering the characteristics of our solar system that enabled manned space exploration. 1. What are the requirements for life to exist on Earth? 2. If life exists elsewhere in the solar system, would it have to look like life forms on Earth?
